    Greetings, Your project can only be described as Museum Grade. A pleasure to watch your progress. I have a question if I may. The barrels on the Bofors seem a fraction thick. I guess it could be the camera/lighting angle. And then it could just be my old eyes playing tricks. Nice work with the camera by the way. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

    A project to be proud of. Attention to detail is excellent. Only you (with some of the Titanic fanatics) know where the mistakes may be. You're good with the camera too. The only fault I could find is your work area is just too neat and clean. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers

    Your machinist mindset shows Nick. Looks like a well-planned project. Will be watching your progress. Cheers

    Very professional. Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and photography. Cheers, Harley

    I have that Yorktown kit and have never been able to find aftermarket stuff for her.

    Nicely done. I did that conversion many years ago but not nearly as extensive as your project. Will enjoy watching the progress.

    This stand is a great aid in providing a sturdy base to build your ship. It's big enough for the Model Shipways Confederacy. It can easily be reconfigured for various size projects. It is 3 feet long and has all the options. My large wooden ship building days are over so this needs a good home. Located in South Florida (33066) $85.00 obo plus shipping (it's heavy) Sorry for the photos laying over.

    The kit has only opened to check parts, all appears complete. She's a big one. She's about a foot longer than the Arizona I just completed. Asking $350.00 plus whatever shipping you choose. Please check shipping costs. Realistic offers considered. Cheers, Harley

    Construction started 12/19/2021. My first 1/200 scale project. Kit was purchased from private party and included the Mk1 upgrade. She is shown as I see her in December 1941. Paint is Vallejo AV, AK, and Scale Colors. My first time using Scale Colors, I like them. Rigging is Ezline and stainless steel wire. The kit decal sheet is quite complete but appears too large so I used 1/350 decals. The "ARIZONA" on the port quarter is bare brass which is just a bit of artistic license. Starboard is correct. The kit is quite complete and detailed. It could easily produce a nice model right out of the box. I used the usual vast amount of references covering the Arizona. The Kagero Super Drawings in 3D is a fine reference and helped to clarify a number of points in the kit instructions. The case is by AcrylicJob. I have enjoyed using them previously. The attached pics are some quickies. I intend to do a finish set when I add her crew. Sorry for the picture problem. Cheers, Harley

    Thanks JeffT, that's about what I have. The more I study them and compare them with the kit instructions the clearer things get. Just takes a bit of engineering to make sure things are assembled in the correct sequence.

    I purchased Trumpeter's 1/200 Arizona from a private party. The deal included the Mk1 Design upgrade 20019. The instructions for the PE upgrade makes me feel like some pages may be missing. I haven't used Mk1 before. If anyone has used this upgrade, please advise how many pages were in the instructions. I really don't expect too much trouble with this project as is but any information will be appreciated Thanks, Harley
  34. Tigerdvr
    Thanks CDW, appreciate the thought.
  35. Tigerdvr
    Okay show off, how did you correct it? Thanks for the help and the comment. Cheers, Harley

    My Joy-Yard 1/350 Missouri is complete. She was a challenge and the instructions caused some stress occasionally. I learned a lot. Experience can be a tough task master. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get this pic to display horizontally but it just wouldn't work!! Cheers, Harley
